Their Voice Has Gone Out To All The Earth




All Glory To God Forever (Inspired by Psalm 19)



The heavens sing of Thy glory,

The skies reveal Thy work 

Every day they sing of Thee

In songs that have no words...


Every day and night they sing


They pour forth melodies
 
In a language without sound

Their love to Thee they bring.



Though their speech be silent

Their grammar be unknown
Their syntax may be foreign
Yet God will make them known...


Everywhere in all the earth


In every place they go 

God makes their language understood

Where their songs are sown.



They sing God’s holy truths

Every night and day

They glorify the Most High

They praise His holy name...



Before all of the Angels

And all the Universe

Their songs are triumphs of His grace

That display His works...



All glory to God forever 

They’re singing all the day...

All glory! Glory! Glory!

May Christ be ever praised!


All glory to Christ forever


Who saved the world from sin

May Christ be praised forevermore

By all who honor Him,

In Jesus’ holy name,

Amen.

For Meditation


  • “The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows His handiwork. Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
    • There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world...” Psalms 19:1-4 WEB 
 

  • “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.

  • "For the invisible things of Him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even His everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse."         
  • 
"Because, *knowing God, they didn’t glorify Him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.”~ Romans 1:18-21 WEB    

*Please note that Paul addresses these words to those who are Believers in God, to those who DO KNOW GOD. The word Paul used for *know is:
•    Strongs1097 γινώσκω [GINW/SKW] {ginṓskō} \ghin-oce'-ko\a prolonged form of a primary verb; to "know" (absolutely)(allow, be aware (of), feel, (have) know(-ledge), perceived, be resolved, can speak, be sure, understand.

*Please re-read the above passages in Romans 1 -not as addressed to unbelievers, -but as to the believer who has suppressed the truth about God in Christ...
One needs to READ the Bible and not merely books ABOUT the Bible, i.e., --commentaries by people. 
Because we are ALL human and we all make mistakes.

One needs to read what our Lord Jesus and the Apostles taught~~not what so and so taught, or even what a denomination or school or theology or philosophy that professes to be Christianity taught or teaches ~because our destiny is at stake.


Jesus said, “But don’t you be called ‘Rabbi,’ for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers. Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven. Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ. But he who is greatest among you will be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” ~Matthew 23:8-12 WEB

If we argue that the pastor or a famous person is more educated and better able to teach us than Jesus Christ from His Word or the Holy Spirit through His word, then we do not truly believe Jesus’ words.

We become a follower of our pastor or famous teacher, author, philosopher, or school rather than Jesus Christ when we believe their words have more authority than the risen Lord and Savior whom we profess to love and serve.
However, that person we are following and putting our faith in cannot save us from our sins.

If we are a follower of a human and not actually following Christ, we confess by our lives that we do not actually believe the above words Christ spoke that He alone must be our MAIN TEACHER~ RABBI; nor will we ever comprehend or really believe in our hearts the following verses ( *See below) from the Word of God.

If any teacher or leader suppresses these important teachings or tries to explain or twist  them so that they do not mean just what the reader absolutely understands that they mean, then those leaders deny Christ and suppress the truth about God.

Meditate on the following bible verses…they reinforce Jesus’ teachings that we must abide in HIM, allow His Holy Spirit to privately teach us as we maintain a consistent prayer life with Him, worship Him, and personally study His Word with Him that we might come to know our Lord and Savior personally and glorify Him as we were created to.

All we have is idolatry if we reverse His paradigm of worshiping Jesus first and foremost.
If we make anything but Jesus our Head, we will have only an idol.

The first commandment is to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind, and strength. (Deuteronomy 6:5)

If we stop loving JESUS as our Head, we will wander off into error and we will, before we know it, change the truth of God into a lie and be self deceived yet still call ourselves a Christian.
Meditate:

    •    Jesus said, “He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings: and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father's which sent Me."
    •    "These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
    •    "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you."
    •    "Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.” ~ John 14:24-26,16:7,13-14 KJV  

    •    Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
    •    For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
    •    And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 

    •    Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
    •    They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
    •    But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
    •    Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
    •    Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 


    •    Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
    •    And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life. 

    •    These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
    •    But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.
    •    And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 

    •    If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him.”~ 1 John 2:15-29 - KJV

You Say...

 
You Say…

You say that you’re a pile of dung
That in the meadows lay
I say that you’re a cherished soul
For whom I died to save.

You say that you’re an accident;
Your mother’s foul mistake,
I say that I planned your life
And I love all that I make.

You say that you’re a nothing,
Your life's an empty hole,
But I gave to you a purpose
When I gave to you your soul.

You say that I don't love you,
That God does not exist,
That I cannot hear your prayers
Wouldn't answer if I did.

May I say that I see you,
I see your every tear,
I'm just as real as you are,
And always very near;
Although you cannot see Me,
I'm ever by your side,
I made you to walk with Me
In love, and joy and light.
Not in the darkness of self hate
Nor the spell of devil lies,
I died to free you from his chains
To give You love and life.

Open up your heart to Me,
I'll give to you new eyes,
You will see as I see you
A cherished jewel of Mine.

You will see yourself anew
And I will give you peace,
Love and joy will fill your heart
The darkness then will cease.
    
You must walk by faith, My child
If you would gain new eyes,
To replace your hate with love,
Your darkness with Christ's light.

Come to Me, oh come believe,
Your sorrow put away,
I say that you’re a cherished soul,
For whom I died to save.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, may all who read this prayer poem and these scriptures hear Your voice whispering in their heart that You cherish them more than they could ever comprehend. May You help them know that their life has infinite value, that You make no mistakes, that You love all that You create, that You allowed Your only Son Jesus Christ to suffer, bleed and die like a criminal on a Roman cross of execution over 2000 years ago to prove it so that we all might be forgiven and live forever with you in love and peace. Thank You, Lord, In Jesus' name, amen. 

 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:16-17 (NIV)

“But I will hope continually, 
and will yet praise thee more and more.” ~Psalm 71:14

Hope Yet More And More

In You, Oh Lord, I trust,
To You, Oh Lord, I pray,
You will answer me
Though I may have to wait.

Lord, You are my Shelter,
You hide me from the storm
I'll bring to You a sacrifice
Of praises, love and joy.

Oh Lord, You are my hope,
Despite the bitter night,
You are my holy lamp
Making all my darkness light.

Oh Lord, You made the night,
The sea, and every storm;
In You my soul will hope,
And praise You more and more.

Oh Lord, You are my hope,
My Holy God of Truth,
My everlasting Shelter,
I’ll ever wait on You.

In You, oh Lord, I trust,
My soul You’ll not forsake,
I’ll hope in You forever, Lord,
And sing Your praise always,
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for Thy gift of hope You give to us when we go through dark tunnels of fear and doubt; storms of affliction and pain, seasons of waiting on the answers to our prayers like the Israelites in the wilderness waiting 40 years for their Promised Land. 
Thank You for the comfort of Thy word that assures us that You never fail, You never lie, that You never break a promise. 
Psalm 146:6 assures us that You keep every promise forever, even as You did for Your Hebrew children in the ancient desert sand so long ago. 
Thy word tells us that You have no favorites; what You did for them, You will do for Thy children today who are trusting and waiting on You. 
May You give us grace to trust You, to believe in all Thy promises, to wait patiently for Thy plans to unfold, for Your plans for each one of us are good, if we will only wait on You to fulfill them. 
Thank You, Lord, we love You, in Jesus' name, amen. 🙏

Lord, I Pray For Love


Lord, I Pray For Love

Lord, I pray You'll give me love
The kind You have for me,
The love that led You to the cross
To suffer agony,
The love that led You, Lord, to die
To save my soul for Thee.

The love that is not peevish,
Envious or proud,
Resentful, rude, or boastful,
That struts itself about
Like the haughty peacock;
Arrogant and vain,
A love that is not selfish,
Demanding its own way.

Lord, I pray You'll give me love
That's patient, kind, and pure,
That won't dishonor others,
Lord, give me love like Yours. 

Lord, give me love that sees the good
And does not look for faults
That won't accuse or criticize
But loves and judges not.

A love that sees that God is He
Who's always in control,
That You arrange the destiny
You've planned for every soul.

A love that walks with You each day
Believing from their maze
Of storms and trials You will weave
A royal robe of grace.

Lord, help me know that even though
I call You Lord of Life,
If I do not have Thy love
I walk not in Thy light.
And even though I do great things
And preach in Jesus name
If I have not got Thy love,
I've done it all in vain.

Lord, I pray You'll give me love,
The kind You have for me,
Let me love the way You love
And give my life to Thee.
In Jesus' name, amen.

Lord, I Pray For Love © 2016 SD Harden All Rights Reserved

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much that You allowed Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ to be born as a man, so that He could become a living sacrifice to atone for our sins by suffering shame, humiliation, and death on a Roman cross. We can hardly fathom such a love that would die to save the souls of people who did not love You back. But Thy word says that while we were still in sin (rebellion against God) Christ died for us. 
Lord, thank You for what You did for us, for through Your suffering You offer us eternal life with You forever when we receive You into our hearts. You love us as if we were Your only child to love and You promise You will never leave or forsake us.
Dear Lord Jesus, may each person reading this prayer not let thy suffering and dying for their soul have been in vain, but let them receive You into their heart as their Lord & Savior. For Thy word promises that "All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved." Thank You, Lord. We love You,
In Jesus' name, amen.

God's Word Is Eternal


"Your lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies."
 ~ Psalm 36:5 

Lord, Thy Word is eternal
Thy love mounts to the skies
Even when the clouds obscure 
Thy face from me sometimes.

Lord, Thy mercy reaches
To the depths of Sheol
To shelter me in suffering, 
You heal my broken soul.

Lord, You hear my every cry
And though I see no form
You've promised You will answer me
For You are in control.

Lord, Thy word is eternal,
Thy promises are true,
You promise that You'll meet my needs
And what You say, You'll do.

Lord, Thy mercy reaches 
To the skies above
You're weaving out of all my paths
A temple of Thy love.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Thy merciful love toward each of us that 
reaches to the heavens; a love so great that, to the Psalmist, it was an incalculable span. 
Thy word proclaims that Thy love and mercy toward us are immeasurable, that You hear our every cry, that no matter how wretched the turmoil our world may be in, You are in control and that you are weaving all the paths of those who love You to come out right in the end. 
We give You thanks for Thy measureless mercy and love that will never reject nor forsake the soul who seeks You. We love You, Lord! In Jesus' name, amen.

In The Shadow Of The Most High



In The Shadow of The Most High

Those who dwell with God
In the shadow of His hand
Must leave their worries all behind
Their fears, and all their cares.

For in God's shadow shelter
Only peace abides
And those who come to Him must walk
By faith within His light.

Those who dwell in the secret place
Of the Most High God
Must trust in Him with all their heart
Although they see Him not.

The Lord must be their Refuge
From the winds that roar,
From the surging, mounting waves 
From every howling storm.

Their eyes must be upon their Lord,
Their shelter from the wind,
They must believe and trust they're safe
As long as they're in Him.

No matter what their eyes tell them,
Nor ears say to their heart,
They must trust that in God's Hand 
They're safe from troubles dark.

They must trust God's in control
And all will soon be well,
The storms will cease and there'll be peace
For Jesus keeps their soul.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, please hide me in the shadow shelter of Thy heart; deliver me from every storm of fear, doubt, and anxiety that comes to rip away my peace and joy. 
Thank You for the precious assurances in Thy word You have given that promise, "Thou wilt keep in perfect peace the one who keeps his mind on You..." (Isaiah 26:3) and "Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:39) 
Thank You for Thy faithfulness and Thy love that will not ever fail us no matter what crisis we are facing; for You are with us in every battle, You hold us through every storm, thank You Lord, in Jesus' name, amen.

You Are God's Masterpiece




You are God's Masterpiece,

Cherished, beloved,

By our God who dwells

In Heaven above;

Upon His heart

You're forever engraved,

He died on the cross

Your soul to save.

All of our sins

He died to forgive;

He rejects no one

Who comes to Him.

He loves each soul

No matter their sins

No past, no shame

Repulses Him.

His love like a river

Flows evermore

And carries us home

To eternity's shores.

 Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much that You sent Your only Son Jesus Christ to earth to be born as a helpless baby, to grow up as a man, to suffer and die a cruel death on a Roman cross so that our sins could be forgiven and we could have eternal life with You.  
If we ever doubt Your love for us may we see our Lord suffering and dying for our sins on the cross. For this is a picture of the depth of Thy love for each one of us. Help us this Christmas season to understand the reason our Lord Jesus Christ came to earth; to meditate on Thy great immeasurable love for us, and may we love and worship You with our whole heart and soul and mind in return for all You have done for us, in Jesus mighty name. Thank You, Lord. Amen.

~Proverbs 9:10

Dear Father God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, please help us to develop a solid trust in You and make us intelligent and discerning in knowing You personally, our eyes focused and clear, so that we can know and understand your will for us and how You want us to accomplish it.

May You fill our hearts with more love for You each day and draw us ever closer to Your holy heart, in Jesus' mighty name we ask, amen.

Houses Built On Sand


Matthew 7:24-27
 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, 
I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:  
and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; 
and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, 
will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 
 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; 
and it fell. And great was its fall.”


HOUSES BUILT ON SAND

© 2015 Suzanne Davis Harden All Rights Reserved.

Houses built upon the sand
Though castles grand they be
Will someday crumble to the ground
And wash into the sea.
No matter if their walls are gilt
With all the finest gold
Nor if their floors are marble,
The finest that is sold.

For all the houses built on sand
Cannot withstand the tide
That swallows all upon its shores~
Nothing on it abides
Except the million grains of sand
That form the boundaries
Of the ever restless waves
That dance upon the sea.

Only those who build their house
Upon the Rock of Christ
Will withstand the constant tides
Throughout the Sea of Life.
For the ever flowing tides
Are not as strong as He
Who controls the wind and waves
And calms the surging sea.

Jesus said that those who build
Their house upon His word
Were founding it upon a Rock
That ever would endure.

Lord Jesus, help me build my house
Upon Thy holy word,
Hold me through the Sea of Life
In You, my heart secure,
In Jesus' name,
Amen.


Prayer 
Heavenly Father, please forgive us for all the times when we have listened to Thy word 
and have not obeyed. 
Search our hearts, oh Lord. 
Reveal to us where we have been blind and deaf to Thy Holy Spirit's promptings within us. Reveal to us all the ways where we have grieved Thy heart in not loving and forgiving others as You have commanded us. 
For in disobeying You we have built our houses on sand. Thank You that Thy word declares that"there is forgiveness with Thee that thou mayest be feared." 
We repent now of all disobedience to Thy revealed will and ask forgiveness for being hearers and not doers of Thy holy word,  
in Jesus' holy name.
Thank You, Lord, we love You, Amen.
